MATCH AGAINST LEVESOHGQWER'S TEAM FARNES BOWLS WELL FLEETWOOD-SMITH’S 100 WICKETS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, September 10. (Received September 11, at 10 a.m.) Another large and enthusiastic crowd was present when the match was resumed. Fames in his first two overs dismissed M'Caho and CliipperJield. Oldfield and Ebeling batted brightly, and the innings closed after 350 minutes’ play. Eames’s figures to-day were: 8.3 overs, 4 maidens, 19 runs, 4 wickets. Sutcliffe and Wyatt opened with extreme caution. The total was only 12 when the latter lost his leg stump. Sutcliffe drove a ball straight to Bradman at raid-off, and ran, but Leyland refused to run, and a smart return saw Sutcliffe run out. Hendren failed to see out the same over, and the total was three for 20. Human batted brightly, but both Leyland and Nichols were dropped early in their innings. Leyland’s was. a very poor effort. Nichols’s 60 occupied ninety minutes, after which ho and Townsend hit valiantly. The partnership was worth 99 in slxty-sis minutes, when O’Reilly was recalled, and dismissed Nichols with his first ball. Nichols hit one 6 and thirteen 4’s. O’Reilly in. the next over sent back Townsend, and the remainder offered little resistance. Fleetwood-Smjth ended the innings after 210 minutes by bowling Bowes, thus getting his 100th firstclass wicket of the tour. Details:—
